Materials:
½ cup of flour
2½ cups of water
Two bowls: one to mix the paper mache, the other to use as a form
Scrap paper
Plastic wrap

1. Prep: Cover the outside of your form bowl in plastic wrap, and cut or rip scraps of paper into strips.
2. In the other bowl, mix the flour and water together to create your paper mache paste; make sure there are no lumps. Then, dip each strip into the paste until it softens.
3. Drape the paper strips over the form bowl, overlapping the pieces until you have about three layers of paper covering the entire thing.

Your paper mache bowl may take a few days to dry. Make sure it dries completely before removing it from the form bowl to avoid tearing it. Use scissors to trim a clean edge if you'd like.
